DROPitTOme - Securely receive files from anyone to your Dropbox

I don't know how many of you use Dropbox but I love it. If you haven't tried it do take a look. I use that now instead of a flash drive. Okay, I washed 3 or 4 flash drives before I realized that maybe it was not a good answer for me to transport files. Then I found Dropbox. That has made my life so much easier!

Once you have that then you need this. It gives you a link so that students or others can put files in your Dropbox without being able to see what you have in it! What a great addition to an already really good feature!
